LEAVENHEATH KINGSLAND LANE 5377 TL 93 NW 11/936 Kingsland House II

A pair of cottages, now one house. Early C18. Timber-framed; C20 render, with lightly incised panels of guiloche ornament; thatch. 1 1/2 storeys. An internal chimney-stack with a plain red brick shaft. 2 gabled dormers with 2-light C20 casement windows, diamond leaded panes. On the ground floor 2x2-light C20 standard casement windows with diamond leaded panes and 2 fully glazed doors, one, to the left of the stack, within an open gabled timber porch. A single-storey lean-to extension at the rear with a C20 roof, flat topped behind a hipped parapet roof. Inside, one large room on the ground floor on each side of the chimney-stack, but evidence that they were formerly divided into 2. A winding stair in each corner, and no access on the upper floor from one side of the stack to the other. The upper floor is divided on each side into a landing bedroom and a main bedroom. Framing complete and exposed inside: long primary braces, bisected studs, joists set on edge, with their ends resting on pegged clamps; main beams with small chamfer: rafters only visible, no ridge. To right of stack, a truss framed for a half hip, which suggests that the building may have been extended to form 2 cottages and has a slightly older core. This is also suggested by a slight difference in ridge height to the left of the stack.
